Tours Swarovski, calls for support for Ex-Im Bank

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ U.S. Senator Charles Schumer made his second appearance in the North Country in as many months this past week, calling for local support for the Federal Export-Import Bank.

The Export-Import Bank, known in Washington parlance as the Ex-Im Bank, provides low interest loans to foreign companies who buy products from United States exporters.

Representatives from two of those exporters, PlattsburghÕ s Swarovski Lighting Company and Plattco, were on hand with Schumer for his hastily arranged press conference, held at Swarovski. Ò There are many businesses throughout New York State

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The night shift staff at the CVPH Emergency Care Center (ECC) may look to the curious visitor more like a busy ant colony than the well oiled medical machine that it ultimately is.

From the outside, the place appears to operate just a step above the level of organized chaos. On the inside, though, each of the ants does their specific job, and every job leads to the next step along the care continuum.

Working in an environment where some nights they might see five patients, and other nights 65, all the while working when the rest of the world is asleep, builds a sense of teamwork that sets the ECC apart from many other departments in the hospital.

Much like the police and fire services, members of the ECC have to rely on each other to cover each otherÕ s backs, with the care of the patient being the ultimate goal. Ò At night in the ER weÕ re really tight,Ó says Gary Barcomb, Clinical Operations Supervisor at CVPH. Ò We donÕ t operate with the same resources that they have during the day.Ó Just before Barcomb’s nightly pre-shift briefing, the ECC pares down from three care teams of nurses and doctors to two. Barcomb reviews each patient coming into the ECC and decides CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

SUNY renovations progress steadily Energy-efficiency at heart of most projects

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ SUNY Plattsburgh is in the midst of a serious face-lift, and better energy efficiency will be one of the end results of all their work.

Three major renovations projects are currently under way, at Hawkins, Yokum and Mason Halls, with other smaller projects in the works as well. Much of the campus is lined with chain linked fences and hard-hatted workers patrol the campus like worker bees.

Harvest Bounty Food Swap coming to Plattsburgh

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The fourth annual Harvest Bounty Food Swap and Potluck will take place Saturday, Sept. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Ò I started this through the Plattsburgh Community Garden Group, and I got involved with them four years ago,Ó said Melissa Hart, organizer of the event and volunteer at the North Country Food Co-op. Ò ItÕ s usually pretty informal, and it works out pretty well.Ó Ò As part of community gardening, we were just looking for other ways to get gardeners and local food enthusiasts connecting more with each other.Ó Ô FOOD GALOREÕ During this event hosted by and located at the North Country Food Co-op, locavores and foodies can share, swap and taste a variety of dried, canned or fresh foods. Ò At the end of the season, you may have a bumper crop of something like squash or carrots and maybe your friend has a ton of tomatoes, so you can get together and swap out your extras,Ó Hart said. Ò ItÕ s a way to get some extra garden veggies and also get rid of the stuff that you have too much of.Ó Locals are allowed to bring foods that are canned or fresh as long as they follow regular food safety guidelines. Frozen foods are not allowed.

Also, food lovers can enjoy a potluck lunch of different types of hot or cold harvest inspired delights, such by HartÕ s quiche, made by any locals willing to make and bring a dish. Ò You donÕ t necessarily need to be a gardener or a canner to participate in the event,Ó Hart said. Ò ItÕ s just for anybody into local food and wanting to meet other people.Ó This event is free, and it is sponsored by the Plattsburgh Community Garden Group. Ô GARDEN GROUPÕ The Plattsburgh Community Garden Group has been around since 2009, offering 60 plots for gardening, skill training, community garden tools and fun, starting originally in Melissa Penfield Park.

The group was established by a group of volunteers who wanted to create allotment style community gardens in and around the City of Plattsburgh to build community, provide an enjoyable and safe place to grow crops, gather as friends and learn the techniques of successful gardening.

Attempting to make the community a better and healthier place, the group creates events to celebrate the gardening season, including a seed swapping event at the start of the season and the Harvest Bounty Food Swap and Potluck at the end of the season.

If anyone would like to attend the food swap and potluck, contact Hart at 518-645-6985. If anyone would like to know more about the

Plattsburgh Community Garden Group, visit their website at plattsburghcommunitygarden. org. Information about the North Country Food Co-op is available at their website at northcountryfoodcoop.com.

Ò This is a great way to get together at the end of the gardening season and just pair notes with other gardeners and share recipes and canning tips,Ó Hart said. Ò ItÕ s fun to get together.Ó

An array of fresh seasonal veggies sit on a table during the previous Harvest Bounty Food Swap and Potluck.

Peru Indians reload on both sides of the ball

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com PERU Ñ Coming off a one-loss season that saw the departure of many of its seniors, PeruÕ s coming season will ride on a handful of new starters.

Last year the then-undefeated Indians met Beekmantown in the Section VII Class B Championship and fell 33-28, finishing the season 8-1. Despite only one mark in the loss column, Coach Nick Damiani said mounting injuries on last yearÕ s team began taking their toll. Ò We started off real strong,Ó said Damiani. Ò Our depth started to drop and it caught up with us.Ó On offense, Peru will have to replace a lot of experience. Only one starter from the offensive line returns and all running backs from last year graduated.

The Indians will have the benefit of getting back starting quarterback Blake Altizer and wide receiver Anthony Gallo, a player Damiani said is a threat on both sides of the ball.

While the 2013 team allowed a Section VII-low 83 points against, it will be up to a much different defense to try to match that mark. Peru lost all of its starting linebackers to graduation

and only one player from last seasonÕ s defensive line returns.

Despite its new-look line, the Indians do return an experienced unit in its secondary. All of last years starters return for 2014. Ò Our strength defensively is our ability to cover,Ó said Damiani, adding that it should help the new corps of linebackers.

The 2013 team, said the coach, played strongest early in the season. He hopes that the difference this year is a group that will improve week to week, saving its best for the end. Despite some unknowns, the potential is there.

“We’re young, we’re definitely athletic,” said Damiani. “It will come down to how we do up front.Ó Peru will begin the season Sept. 6 in an away rematch against Beekmantown.

Saranac Chiefs ready to compete in Section VII this fall Roster size low, but coach is optimistic

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ After a close defeat in the Section VII Class C championship, Saranac will enter 2014 with a very new look and an excited head coach. Ò It was a great season,Ó said Coach Jason Daniels, referring to a win over Ausable Valley in the Section VII Class C semifinal before a tight 30-28 loss to Saranac Lake in the final.

DanielsÕ biggest concern moving into the 2014 season is the roster size. With last year’s graduations and only three new varsity members, Saranac may be fielding as few as 18 players.

Last year, Plattsburgh had to cancel the remainder of its football season after its roster dipped too low. The minimum team size is 16.

Despite a roster size that makes Daniels Ò nervous,Ó the coach is optimistic for what Saranac isnÕ t lacking this season. Ò IÕ m excited,Ó said Daniels. Ò We have a good strong core. IÕ ve got a great coaching staff.Ó The Chiefs will return last seasonÕ s basic

offensive line starters and tailback Hunter Church, who played running back in 2013. A new face will be under center in quarterback Mason Utzler.

Daniels said to expect a new style in how Saranac will play this season, with changes in offensive and defensive schemes, and even special teams.

The key to the ChiefsÕ success this season will be the teamÕ s ability to gel and play as a single unit, added Daniels. He said he and his staff, despite the concern over numbers, feel positive about the coming year. Ò WeÕ re going to be competitive,Ó said Daniels.

Beekmantown Eagles riding momentum into 2014 season Energy carrying over from last season’s finish

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN Ñ Beekmantown looks to build on a strong 2013 finish that saw them upset top seeded Peru in the Section VII Class B Championship. After handing the Indians their first loss, Beekmantown went on to upend Malone before falling to Schalmont in the Class B quarterfinal.

Coach Jamie Lozier said that the EaglesÕ playoff run has had a

strong impact in between seasons, from practice to the work in the weight room. Ò They did the little things right,Ó said Lozier. Ò So far that momentum has carried into the offseason. TheyÕ re motivated.Ó The Eagles will field a number of returning players, including running back Justin Stevens and quarterback Mickey Pepper.

While Pepper hasnÕ t started at QB, Lozier said that Beekmantown players benefit from a system consistent from modified through varsity and that Pepper is coming in familiar will the plays.

Though the Eagles lost a deep threat in wide receiver Cameron Garceau, Lozier said that this yearÕ s wideouts play fast. Ò IÕ m hoping opponents have a tough time preparing for us,Ó said Lozier. Ò We have a lot of weapons.Ó Between returning talent and what Lozier has called a Ò smooth offseason,Ó this may be the case come September. It hasnÕ t, however, been just the players coming back that has helped Beekmantown.

Lozier, who has been with the Eagles for 14 years, four as head coach, added that having the same coaching staff as last year has been an added benefit. Some were new the prior season and having everyone back has helped both the team and staff prepare. Ò IÕ m very, very lucky,Ó said Lozier. Ò That really helps.Ó Beekmantown will open the 2014 season with a home rematch of last yearÕ s championship game against Peru. The last meeting ended 33-28 in the EaglesÕ favor.

Plattsburgh Hornets bounce back from cancelled season

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ One year removed from a cancelled season, the Hornets are back, and first year Coach Pat Keleher is optimistic.

After starting the 2013 season with 20 players, PlattsburghÕ s roster fell below the minimum 16 and the team was forced to forfeit the remainder of its games. This year, the varsity roster is currently at 28, with 27 more on the junior varsity team. Ò Numbers wise, IÕ m very pleased,Ó said Keleher.

While Keleher is new to Plattsburgh, he has years of coaching experience in the area going back to 1981 when he started at Saranac. Since then heÕ s coached at Beekmantown and Peru and spent 2007-2011 as the head coach of the semi-pro Plattsburgh North Stars.

All but one of the Plattsburgh coaching staff are entering their first year with the Hornets, but between them there is more than 120 years of football coaching experience. A major goal for the staff now is building enthusiasm for football again. So far, Keleher is doing just that. Ò IÕ m really pleased with the attitude and work ethic,Ó he said. Ò The kids are buying in.Ó Because the Hornets played only three games last season, itÕ s harder to gauge before season begins how Plattsburgh will look on both sides

of the ball. The offensive and defensive lines are the least experienced units, though Keleher added that this is normal at this point in the year.

Of the 28 on the varsity roster, 15 are seniors and some multi-sport athletes, giving Plattsburgh strong returning leadership. ItÕ s been evident in early practices as a number of players have neck-and-neck for starting spots, especially in the backfield, where six have shown strong potential to run the ball, including two fullbacks Keleher described as Ò hard-nosed, tough kids.Ó As the regular season nears, Keleher noted that he and his assistants have two major goals; for the team to be competitive and to rebuild belief in the coaching staff and football at Plattsburgh. So far, the excitement there is building. Ò These kids want to win,Ó said Keleher. Ò ItÕ s been absolutely great.Ó

Patriots Coach Heith Ford wasn’t pleased with his team’s 48-0 loss, however he was optimistic that his young team would regroup, refocus and prepare to beat Beekmantown.

The weather wasnÕ t the only thing holding back the Patriots Saturday, they were also missing six players resulting in an exhausted team at the end of the day.

Moriah clamps down defensively to defeat Plattsburgh

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpubs@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Adam Jaquish threw for 109 yards and accounted for two second half touchdowns to solidify the Vikings 28-6 Friday night, Sept. 5 win over the Plattsburgh Hornets in the season opener for both teams.

Jaquish connected with Cody Stockwell for a 64-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline for a score, putting the Vikings up 21-6.

The Vikings took a 14-0 lead into halftime, but after a 64yard interception by Hornet linebacker Riley Monahan brought the Hornets down to the Vikings own two and Running back Mackenzie McKethan (6-40 yds) promptly made it a 14-6 game.

The Connection between Jaquish and Stockwell was pivotal in squashing the Hornets second half surge.

After Viking running back Troy Welch (7-29 yds) went down early in the first half, Moriah ran behind a trio of backs. Leading the way was Collin Harris with 18 carries for 99 yards. Fullback Noah Gilbo had 9 carries for 39 yards, and Cody Stockwell had three carries for 29 yards.

The Vikings defense was stout the entire night, holding the Hornets to six points and 60 total yards of offense. Bill Larrow led the way with seven tackles and two for loss; Noah Gilbo had six tackles and two sacks; Harris had an interception and a pass break upon the defensive side; and Jaquish had three pass break ups at defensive end, one being snagged down by linebacker Jordan Cheney for a four-yard interception and touchdown.

Plattsburgh’s first-year Head Coach Pat Keleher was not without praise for his team. He noted that even though they have 17 seniors they are still inexperienced and tonight they played with

great heart and desire. They needed to work on the little things, alignment, penalties, and to prepare for Saranac LakeÕ s spread offense attack next week.

Ticonderoga Sentinels top Chiefs in football opener

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ FridayÕ s game against the Ticonderoga Sentinels was an eye opener for the Saranac Chiefs. Ticonderoga shut out Saranac Sept. 5 by the final score of 33 to 0.

The first quarter was high scoring for the Sentinels with the first three drives ending in 6 points. Brody Rocque, Garrison Hughes and Domanic Banish all had touchdowns for the Sentinels in the first quarter. Standouts for the Chiefs in the first quarter included Caiden Goodman with a 30 yard kick return and Rafael Rivera with a 44 yard reception from Mason Utzler.

Despite the large points discrepancy, the Chiefs were able to hold the Sentinels to zero points in the second half. Brandon Dubrey and Colby Russell both had big tackles for the Chiefs in the second half that limited the Ticonderoga rushing game.

With a combined 264 rushing yards, the Sentinels dominated the field with multiple weapons at their disposal. Leading the Sentinels in rushing yards were Konner Bruce with 8 carries for 77 yards and Garrison Hughes with 5 carries for 76 yards followed by Brody Rocque with 6 carries for 50 yards and Ryan Trudeau with 10 carries for 44 yards. The standout versatile player for Ticonderoga was Domanic Banish with two interceptions, 35 return yards and a 42 yard field goal.

Despite the fantastic performance by the Sentinels, there were 10 penalties and 2 turnovers that stunted TiconderogaÕ s scoring by negating a 55 yard punt return for 6 by Garrison Hughes and a 33 yard reception for a touchdown by Ryan Trudeau. This is an obvious point of weakness that the Sentinels will want to address for next week against the Peru Indians.

Coach Jason Daniels of the Chiefs looks to solidify blocking and defensive assignments to prepare for next week. He also

is looking to prepare all players for more than two positions to prepare for various situations due to injuries which was an issue in the season opener at Sentinel Field. Key player, Caiden Goodman, went down in the third quarter with severe leg cramps which only intensified after being helped off the field. Knowing the work ethic of his players, Coach Daniels said he’s confident the team will come back fighting next week when they face the Moriah Vikings at home at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 13.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Hornets varsity girls are coming off of a 10-8-0 season and will look to be in the mix in Division 1 again this year.

The team graduated nine players last year, however, and will look to returning players and a handful of newcomers to contribute this year.

Last season, the girls beat Saranac Lake in the Class B quarterfinals before falling to Beekmantown in the next round.

Plattsburgh ready to swim

By Andrew Johnstone PLATTSBURGH — After a 6-0 mark in 2013, including the CVAC regular season title and sectional championship, the Hornets look for the same this season. Ò I am hoping for my top swimmers to be in contention for some records this season,Ó said Coach Jay Ruff.

Plattsburgh, which has a strong swimming history, competes against AuSable Valley, Peru and Moriah. Ò I am looking for the other swimmers to keep improving and striving to better their times all season,Ó added Ruff.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ One of Section VIIÕ s top cross country athletes is back in Jeriqho Gadway, a Class C First Team runner in 2013.

The Hornets boys went 11-7 last fall and will look to be in the mix of top teams in 2014. Nine runners return to the boysÕ team.

The girlsÕ team also went 11-7 last season, finishing in the top half of the CVAC. TheyÕ ll look to place toward the head of the pack again in 2014.

Plattsburgh went 13-5 and made it to the Section VII Class C final but couldn’t get past the Patriots.

Coach Shae LaPorte will lead the Hornets again this season.

The team graduated seven players from last yearÕ s team and will need new contributors for another strong season.

andrew@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Hornets gymnastics may be young, but its building effort over the past years may soon begin paying off. Ò We had no seniors last season or this season,Ó said Coach Janice Trudeau. Ò We have been in the process of building for the past couple of years. We are stronger this year and have some experienced gymnasts returning.Ó Trudeau expects their best even to be vault this year, while there’s room for improvement in floor and beam scores this year.

The HornetsÕ all around strength is in girls Madison Baker, Julia Karkoski, Hannah Kaltenbach and Juliana Baker, while boys Josh Boise, Gavin Fritz and Mason Kazak are strong at vault.

Anthony Russo will contribute on bars, while a newcomer on the team, Miah Thornton, is expected to help on beam and floor. Ò Our main goal is to practice hard,Ó said Trudeau. Ò We do have potential to be successful this year, but (we must be) giving 100 percent at practice. Then we can hope that the hard work will pay off.Ó

PERU Ñ The 2013 Peru Indians were one game away from a trip Class A final four last season. Getting back will require replacing two stars.

Averill Park scored in the second overtime of the NYSPHSAA championship game, winning 2-1 and ending the IndiansÕ season.

This yearÕ s team will be without Jacob Dick, last yearÕ s Division I Most Valuable Player, and Ian Spear, a first team All-Star.

Despite those departures, Peru will return 18 players with varsity experience, including senior John Plessis-Belair, another 2013 first team All-Star, and Isaac Nixon, who also made All-Star honors on the second team.

Coach Matt Armstrong said the focus this year will be to increase offensive productivity. Ò (Our goal is) to compete with all of the teams in our division,Ó he said.

PERU — The Peru Indians enter 2014 with six seniors and plenty of varsity experience from last yearÕ s 7-8-1 team made it to the NYSPHSAA Girls Soccer regionals.

Peru will be without sweeper Anna Hogan and striker Lindsey Bushey after the two graduated, but Coach Susan Jackstadt expects the combination of experience and young talent to carry the Indians this season. Ò We have a strong core of players with varsity game experience,Ó said Jackstadt, Ò as well as a new addition to our front line that will offer more speed and aggression to our offense.Ó Jackstadt added that the senior players who have years of experience playing together have developed strong communication, both out loud and by being able to read each others movements in the game.

Some of these seniors to watch include forward Rachel Sheldrick and midfielders Emily Lawliss and Kelly Neenan.

A freshman forward, Anna Mitchell, will be new to the team this season. Other players to keep an eye on this season are midfielder Sam Spear and junior defender Amanda LaPorte.

Jackstadt said that injuries from last season have carried over to impact the teamÕ s defense, but the coach added that the group is still Ò comprised of daring players who are both fast and powerful.Ó

PLATTSBURGH — The Hornets finished the 2013 on the heels of Beekmantown and AuSable Valley, two teams that only dropped single games in the regular season.

Local man DARE’s to smuggle drugs in stuffed lion

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ DARE to hide your drugs in a stuffed lion wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt.

ThatÕ s what state police say a Plattsburgh man did this past week at the Greyhound bus station in Plattsburgh. They say that Gregory Bolognese, 22, was found in possession of approximately two grams of marihuana, approximately .6 grams of cocaine, and two strips of paper that contained LSD. These items were found inside an animal dressed in a D.A.R.E. t-shirt.

Bolognese was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance seventh degree, and unlawful possession of marihuana. He was arraigned in the Town of Plattsburgh court and committed to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $500 cash bail. Bolognese is to reappear in the Town of Plattsburgh Court at a later date to face the charges.

Many of their patients, the walking wounded, come to the ECC under their own power. For others an ambulance crew, whether itÕ s one of CVPHÕ s ambulances or a volunteer department, is the first part of the ECC team the patient meets. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are the advanced arm of the ECC. ItÕ s their job to stabilize a patient, and start the care process, often while driving down a snow covered roadway in the dead of night. Ò Sometimes all our work is done by the time they get here,Ó said ECC Registered Nurse Sarah Forkey. Ò I donÕ t think we give them a whole lot of credit sometimes, but they save us a lot of steps.Ó Forkey started her career as an EMT, before moving into the hospital as a nurse.

For the EMTs themselves, a busy night on the road is often preferable to a quiet night of stationary boredom. Ò This ER is an animal at night. ItÕ s never the same thing twice. No two days are the same,Ó said Jeremy Miner, and Advanced EMT on the CVPH ambulance crew.

Patients who come in via the ambulance are triaged while en route to the hospital. Those who come through the front door are triaged in a newly built triage area just behind the front counter. The triage area has three separate stations, and is a

huge change from the previous ER setup.

A person must work in the ECC for a year before they can even apply to work in triage. To work in the ECC itself, you have to have worked in the hospital for two years. Ò Triage can go from dead to busy very quickly,Ó said triage nurse Christina Hoffnagle. Ò I feel like IÕ ve learned so much here. ItÕ s scary, exciting and stressful, all in one.Ó The triage area where Hoffnagle works is one of the new spaces built during a recent $3.5 million transformation that added 5,400 square feet to the ECC, more than doubling its space. The project added nine more patient beds, a four bed behavioral decision area, and space for the three triage beds.

The expansion was funded by a federal grant, administered through the New York State Department of Health.

Doctor Barry Smith works nights in the ECC on a rotating basis, traveling from New York City where he lives and practices.

“They have some very highly qualified nurses, techs and staff who are very dedicated to their community,” Smith said. “No matter if it’s one patient or 50 patients, they give each patient the same care. ItÕ s why I keep coming here.Ó Smith says that given the rural nature of the area CVPH services, heÕ s been most impressed with the level of specialty care available in the North Country. Ò TheyÕ re very energetic, very involved specialists who serve the ER as well,Ó said Smith.

Like most of the ECC night shift, Smith prefers the busy nights, which arenÕ t always the nights everybody would assume. Mondays, according to consensus, are the busiest, followed closely by Fridays. Thursdays can be busy as well once college is back in session, due primarily to Ô Ladies NightÕ specials at local bars.

But whether its a busy or quiet night, the teamwork and esprit de corps of the night shift crew is something that members of the ECC wear with pride. Ò Somehow we always pull it off. We always make it work,Ó said Forkey. Ò ItÕ s all about the people we have working. Ò It really is great. IÕ d never work anywhere else in the hospital.Ó

Schumer

From page 1 who derive their business from foriegn exports,Ó said Schumer. Ò If we donÕ t do it (renew the Ex-Im Bank) we’re fighting with one hand behind out back.”

Schumer says the Ex-Im Bank used to be an easy sell in Washington, but has become a political hot potato with some on both the far right and the far left suddenly balking at the program.

Schumer says that money loaned out by the bank not only is paid back, but that the government makes a small profit on the interest they collect. Ò It used to be that passing the Ex-Im Bank was a lay-up. We canÕ t let a small group of ideologs hold the system hostage.Ó Schumer cited the recent unexpected primary loss of VirginiaÕ s Congressman Eric Cantor to a political unknown who made shutting down the Ex-Im Bank a plank on his political platform.

He said that most other exporting nations have their own versions of the Ex-Im Bank as well.

“It’s probably more than 500 jobs in the Plattsburgh area that are tied to the Ex-Im Bank. The ExIm Bank is crucial to the survival of New York companies,Ó Schumer said.

Schumer said that state-wide 270 companies, 163 of them considered small businesses, relie on funding from the Ex-Im Bank for some or all of their business.

Schumer urged North Country voters to contact their congressional representitives and urge passage of legislation to renew the Bank.

TOUR Before his address to the media, Schumer took a whistlestop tour of Swarovski Lighting’s production floor, taking note of the wide variety of

lighting fixtures produced at the Plattsburgh plant.

Swarovski hires about 350 people in the Plattsburgh area. They also help support a host of secondary businesses; businesses who supply Swarovski with materials or equipment used in their business.

WORLD EVENTS After his discussion of the Ex-Im Bank, Schumer turned his attention to national news events, specifically the recent beheadings of two U.S. journalists at the hands of Muslim extremists in Iraq. Ò This is beyond the Pale,Ó he said. Ò IÕ ve told the president that if he comes up with a strong plan to deal with this, he will get Congressional support.Ó

A bridge is a better option Enemies at the doorstep

1826 called, and they want their ferry back.

ThatÕ s the year that the Champlain Transportation Company, now the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, was first incorporated in Vermont. Today we have other, more environmentally friendly options for crossing from New York to Vermont Ñ they are called bridges.

Perhaps in the early to mid 1800s it wasnÕ t feasible to try to build a bridge spanning the whopping 2.1 miles from Cumberland Head to Grand Isle, but times have changed. A two mile bridge is something for an engineering 101 class, not the kind of impediment to progress that has hamstrung the people of the Champlain Valley since before the Civil War. What, has kept that bridge from being built? Political apathy on the part of our local, state and federal politicians? The difficulty of two states getting together on an infrastructure project? What?

The last time the issue came up in any serious manner, it was argued that there is a bridge just up the road in Rouses Point. Anyone who doesnÕ t want to pay the $10, one way, for a single occupant car, can just take the bridge. Unfortunately, however, Rouses Point isnÕ t just up the road. In fact, the trek to the Rouses Point bridge for those who reside in the greater Plattsburgh area adds almost 60 miles each way to the trip. That’s two hours, and 4.8 gallons of gas (at 25 miles per gallon...which not all cars or trucks get). If Ô driving aroundÕ was in fact a viable option, then why was there such a rush to re-build the Crown Point bridge when it was condemned? Why werenÕ t the people who usually take that bridge just told to take the Essex ferry? The reason is because it doesnÕ t make any sense to take a ferry when a bridge can be built.

And where are our environmental friends on the issue? We currently have the option of dieselspewing behemoths slogging back and forth across the lake 24 hours a day, or driving an extra 120 miles to make the trip. Is there any doubt that a bridge, consisting of a four mile round trip, would make so much more sense that itÕ s almost criminal that nobody is out hugging that tree for all their worth?

Some have argued that Vermont is too poor to pick up their share of the bridge. New York had to pick up about 75 percent of the Crown Point bridge after all. Well why shouldn’t New York just pick up the tab? The Burlington area has jobs...lots of them. The New York side of the Champlain Valley needs jobs, badly. With a bridge, it would be viable for New Yorkers to take jobs in Vermont.

Several do now. Just check the number of New York plated second vehicles parked on the Vermont side of the ferry. Also, all the people who do work in Vermont wouldnÕ t need to buy a second car to keep on the Vermont side of the ferry. Another win for New Yorkers.

Not to mention shopping. Plattsburgh has a dearth of good shopping. With a bridge, New Yorkers would flock to Burlington more than they already do to shop in Vermont. Now a family of four has to invest about an extra $40 to their trip. For most families on our side of the lake that amount makes the trip not worth taking.

So why havenÕ t our politicians taken up the issue of building a Plattsburgh bridge. Is it more proof that the North Country is out of sight, out of mind? Would it take too much political capital for the small amount of Champlain Valley people it would benefit?

So what about a toll bridge? Then the ferry company could still make money, only not at a rate of maybe $2 a car instead of $10. Let New York bankroll the bridge, and give the ferry company a 50 year lease. Surely Andrew Cuomo, who has been throwing money around upstate like a drunken sailor on leave, could find some more money to throw into a bridge up here. And how about some federal love while weÕ re at it? Where do our federal representatives stand on the matter? Since neither of the major party candidates for US Congress are actually from the district, weÕ re sure itÕ s not forefront in their minds. Do either even know that there is a ferry still running in the 21st century.

A Plattsburgh to Grand Isle bridge will likely never happen in our lifetime, but why not at least have the conversation? You can drive on a bridge all the way to Key West, but not Grand Isle, Vermont. That just doesnÕ t equate. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Bridge closure information false

Supports land purchase

Honored to serve the United Way

To the Editor: Please be advised that it has been brought to our attention that someone has posted information on social media regarding the closing of Stickney Bridge Road from 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. for the next couple of weeks for construction.

This information is FALSE. It is true that Essex County will be working on the Stickney Bridge Road. However, there are NO anticipated closings except in the event that an uncontrolled circumstance arises.

However, delays in traffic flow may occur.

Many constituents have shared this information via social media and there have been multiple calls to the Town of Jay and Essex County Offices regarding this announcement.

Please be advised that as in the past, and as always, in the event of an anticipated road closing the Town of Jay, Essex County will make public announcements and post message boards outlining the event well in advance of any closures.

Notices of this type will come from the Town of Jay and/or Essex County and rest assured, all town, county and state emergency officials would be notified of any impending closures well in advance.

Chris Garrow, Essex County DPW Director

To the Editor: Trying to change the focus of a pertinent issue before an election has always been a ploy by desperate politicians and that seems to be the case with Mr. George MooreÕ s attorney.

The fact that Mr. Russell continues to desperately argue about what the county has done, attempts to take the focus off of Mr. MooreÕ s ( George ) inability to attract a buyer, a developer, or himself develop the Frontier Town property he already owns.

It took the spotlight of the press to get Mr. Moore to do basic grounds keeping that hadnÕ t been done in years.

Mr. Moore takes any criticism as a personal affront as opposed to working to correct mistakes made, and join the community to work together.

Yes Mr. Moore has paid his taxes, and yet his property has been devalued to the point that the A frame will be condemned.

All on his watch.

The town of North Hudson I believe stands by itÕ s elected officials. Our town, its supervisor and the town board work hard to benefit the town’s future. Sure there are disagreements, but all of us want the same thing, a better future for our town and for future generations to come.

Dan Snyder, North Hudson

To the Editor: As longtime supporters of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, we are honored to serve as co-chairs of the 2015 campaign.

We want to thank all who have supported the United Way in the past, we hope you will continue your support. If you have never given, please consider talking to your employer about conducting a campaign, or contact the United Way to make a donation.

Whether a few dollars a week through payroll dedication or a one-time donation, your donation will help families in your community. The money raised here, stays here.

The definition of “Live United” as defined by United Way is ÒA mission. A goal. A constant reminder that when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We hope you will join us in our commitment to ÒL ive UnitedÓ by supporting the United Way and its 41 Partner agencies.

Style & Substance: Recommendations on approaching a friend on drinking Dear style & substance, I have a friend who I think drinks too much. Nothing bad has happened while drinking, but she talks way too much about what I consider private or confidential matters. She never seems embarrassed, but I am. I feel like I need to say something, but I donÕ t know what. Do you have any suggestions?

It is kind of you to care so much. One explanation that may be helpful to you is this: some people have problems when they drink because they have problems in their lives that they canÕ t seem to be able to clarify, evaluate and take action on with openness and focus. Alcohol can definitely remove the filter from someoneÕ s commentary and their problems and complaints leak out. You are seeing this as Ò messyÓ , and rightly so. Private issues of concern and deep emotion are best shared with a clear mind, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. True resolution can only happen with clarity.

We recommend a couple of different approaches/questions to consider: • Do you spend time with her that is alcohol free? If not, you may not Ò knowÓ her that well. Suggest activities that do not include alcohol and re-evaluate your relationship based on your friendÕ s response.

• Clarify your perspective and what you believe to be acceptable behavior when having a drink. Follow your own rules and you may find that she follows suit. Make sure you do not fall into supporting the negative behavior by fueling it.

• Address the topics she discloses instead of the alcohol she imbibes. If you can have a caring, yet frank, conversation about her disclosures, you may find that she recognizes your concern and wants to address and work on the issues. Or, you may find that she just likes to complain! Then, it is your choice

have certain expectations and unwritten codes of conduct in our relationships with both friends and acquaintances, and once we know more intimate details about peopleÉ .we cannot just easily dismiss, forgive, or wave off the behavior.

The essential question to answer for yourself is this: Ò what do I want, need, and expect from this friendship?Ó You expressed your desire to say something but did not know what to sayÉ .is your uncertainty due to the private nature of your friendÕ s disclosures or are you unsure if you want to continue this relationship? Your truthful reflections will guide your next step.

Don’t forget to join us for: about what position you will put yourself in with her and alcohol in the future.

• Take a look at what point she is at in her life; empty nest, frustration with career, newly single/divorcedÉ .. adjustments are sometimes embarrassingly contemplated out loud.

• Your friend may also feel completely comfortable with you and not realize she is over sharing or sharing in a way that is overwhelming to you and not helpful to her. Return to our first suggestion of alcohol free activities whereby you initiate conversation Ð begin your Ò pointedÓ conversation subtly, allowing you to guide the discussion and redirect it if you become uncomfortable.

Your question reminded us of a quote we recently found, Ò It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.Ó ~William Blake The Ò enemyÓ , in this case, is just an Ò acquaintanceÓ . We all
